The Retiring of Old Snow
Clinging to blue shadows
and shades and trees
Stained ice and sleet and
snow from days ago
Silently steams away as vapour,
as mist
Beneath today’s yellow and
slanting sun
On Monday eve the skies
were low and grey
And Tuesday morn soft
flakes began to float
And then the rattle of
indelicate sleet
Sent every creature to its
appointed burrow
And now the little that’s
left hides from the breeze
Clinging to blue shadows
and shades and trees
